Optimisation of the space requirement of the CFC elements
The module calls and operators are displayed more compactly.
The CFC elements Input and Output now only display the element name when accessing structure or building block elements. The instance path or namespace is now only displayed as a tooltip. In this case, this is indicated by three horizontal lines in the CFC element.
Theme 'Dark' In the category 'Text Editor' in the 'Options' dialogue (menu 'Tools' > 'Options'), the background of the CFC editor can be changed to black by selecting the theme 'Dark', as is already the case with text editors.
Changing the order of pins in building blocks via drag & drop
The inputs and outputs of building blocks can be moved via drag & drop. This makes it easier to prevent intersections of connecting lines.
Extending the control through shortcuts
In the 'Keyboard' tab of the 'Customize' dialogue (menu 'Tools' > 'Customize'), the category 'CFC' has been extended by further commands for controlling the CFC editor via keyboard shortcuts.
Dragging objects and symbols into the editing area
If variables are dragged and dropped into the editing area, a menu appears that can be used to determine whether this variable is inserted in a CFC element 'Input' or 'Output'. If a module is dragged into the editing area, it is inserted as a module call.
